Shadowboxing
Take this slowly, stay balanced, and ask your coach when something feels unclear.
category
training
plain english
Boxing against nobody — in the air or in front of a mirror — to practice shape, movement and combinations without impact.
example
Usually the first thing after the warm-up.
why it matters
It is where technique is actually built, because nothing is pushing back and you can go slowly enough to be correct.
common mistake
Treating it as a warm-up to rush through rather than the technique work it is.
